Yamaha dealer check the vehicle as
soon as possible.
WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-cal circuits as soon as possible.
EAU67431
Shift timing indicator light
This indicator light can be set to come
on and go off at the desired engine
speeds and is used to inform the rider
when it is time to shift to the next higher
gear. (See page 4-24.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key to ON. The indicator light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to ON, or
if the indicator light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
EAU73120
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadil
y to indicate the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”. The indicator light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
if the indicator light remains on, or if the
indicator light flashes in a pattern (if a
problem is detected in the immobilizer
system, the immobilizer system indica- tor light will flash in a pattern), have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIPIf the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. Ifthis occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.

pears automatically and begins re-
cording distance traveled from that
point.

After refueling and traveling some
distance, F-TRIP will automatically
disappear.

See “Unit” on page 4-22 to change
the fuel consumption units.

In TRACK MODE, information dis-
play items FASTEST (fastest lap
time) and AVERAGE (average laptime) are also available.
TRIP-1, TRIP-2, F-TRIP, FUEL CON,
and FUEL AVE items can be individual-
ly reset.
To reset information display items
1. Use the wheel switch to scroll through the display items until the
item you want to reset appears.
2. Short push the wheel switch and the item will flash for five seconds.
(For STREET MODE, if both items
are resettable items, the top item
will flash first. Scroll down to select
the bottom item.) 3. While the item is flashing, press
and hold the wheel switch for one
second.
Transmission gear display
This shows which gear the transmis-
sion is in. This model has 6 gears and a
neutral position. The neutral position is
indicated by the neutral indicator light
“ ” and by the transmission gear dis-
play “ ”.
Front brake pressure indicator
This shows how much braking power is
being applied to the front brakes.
Acceleration indicator
This shows the vehicle’s forward accel-
eration and deceleration forces.
Revolution peak hold indicator
This small bar momentarily appears
within the tachometer to mark the most
recent peak engine speed.
YRC items MODE/PWR/TCS/SCS
The current MODE (YRC mode) and its
related PWR, TCS and SCS settings
are shown here. The individual settings for YRC items
PWR, TCS, SCS, LCS, QSS and LIF
can be organized into four groups and
set independently for each group.
These groups of settings are the YRC
modes MODE-A, MODE-B, MODE-C,
and MODE-D. Use the mode switch to
change YRC modes or make YRC item
setting changes from the main screen.
TIPThe YRC modes come preset from the
factory for different riding conditions.
When using the factory presets, the
suggested YRC modes are as follows.
MODE-A is suitable for track rid-
ing.

MODE-B is a softer track-riding
setting.

MODE-C is suitable for street rid-
ing.

MODE-D is suitable for touring orrainy weather.
To change YRC modes or make setting
changes1. Push the mode switch center but- ton to scroll left to right and high-
light the item you want to adjust.

Checking the brake lever free
playThere should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
EWA14212
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re- sult in loss of control and an acci-
dent.
EAU36504
Brake light switchesThe brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever, should
come on just before braking takes ef-
fect. If necessary, have a Yamaha deal-
er adjust the brake light switches.
1. No brake lever free play
